14245d33d1 feat(saas): account-link — connected self-hosted billing (Mode A) [WIP, flag-gated] (#6738)
> **Draft / WIP.** Combined-billing **Mode A** (connected self-hosted).
Entirely behind `stirling.billing.account-link.enabled` (default **off**
→ beans absent → 404). Pairs with Stirling-PDF-SaaS PR #313 (twin
migration → `v3`).

## What this does

A self-hosted instance links a SaaS account in the **Portal**, gets a
**device credential**, and authenticates unattended metering/entitlement
with it — no long-lived user JWT on the server. The Portal then surfaces
the team's **billing** (free trial → metered Processor plan) driven by
the live wallet.

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
  participant Portal as Portal (browser)
  participant Supa as SaaS Supabase Auth
  participant Local as Self-hosted backend
  participant SaaS as SaaS Java (app/saas)
  Portal->>Supa: signIn / signUp (Supabase JS, short-lived JWT)
  Supa-->>Portal: JWT (SDK-refreshed, stays in browser)
  Portal->>Local: hand JWT (same-origin)
  Local->>SaaS: POST /account-link/register (Bearer JWT, leader)
  SaaS-->>Local: { device_id, device_secret }  (secret once)
  Note over Local: store device_secret server-side
  loop unattended
    Local->>SaaS: /api/v1/instance/** (X-Device-Id + X-Device-Secret)
    SaaS-->>Local: entitlement / gate decision
  end
```

**Auth model:** human auth = Supabase JS (ephemeral JWT, kept for
attended portal features). Durable instance auth = a team-bound
**device_id + secret** (SHA-256 stored, shown once), non-user
`ROLE_LINKED_INSTANCE`, path-scoped to `/api/v1/instance/**`. Instance
binds to a **team**, never a user.

## Billing surface (Portal · Mode A states)

`Usage & billing` is state-driven by the link/subscription dimension and
built to the marketing designs, sharing one component layer across
states:

- **Unlinked** → link-account prompt.
- **Linked · Free** — the *Processor trial*: a one-time 500-PDF free
grant ("Process 500 PDFs free, then $X/PDF"), the team's free-editor
fleet, and a leader-only **Switch on the Processor →** (embedded Stripe
Checkout).
- **Linked · Subscribed** — the *Processor plan* dashboard:
PDFs-processed split (API / Agents / Automation), **spend this month**
vs. a **spend limit** meter with a run-rate projection and an **in-place
cap editor** (preset buckets + suggested value + guardrail), Stripe
**invoices** (with billed PDFs per invoice), and the default **payment
method**. Card / subscription changes deep-link to Stripe's hosted
portal.

Manual PDF editing is always free — only Automation / AI / API is
metered; a `$0` cap blocks all metered work (≠ "no cap").

**Shared, not duplicated:** the editor-fleet card, the Enterprise
upsell, and the meter (`@shared/billing` `MeterBar`) render in both the
free and subscribed views; money/cap math lives once in
`@shared/billing`. The page header is a sticky, full-bleed bar.

**New SaaS reads** (defensive — degrade to empty/"—" when the Stripe
mirror lacks a table, never 500):
- `GET /api/v1/payg/payment-method` — default card (brand / last4 /
expiry) from `stripe.payment_methods`.
- Invoice **PDFs processed** — billed line-item quantity from
`stripe.invoice_line_items`.

## Progress

- [x] Schema: `V22 linked_instance` (+ Supabase twin in #313)
- [x] `AccountLinkController` register / list / revoke (leader-only,
team from caller)
- [x] Device-credential filter (path-scoped, constant-time,
revocation-aware) + `SupabaseSecurityConfig` wiring (conditional)
- [x] `GET /api/v1/instance/whoami` + **`/entitlement`** (reuses
`EntitlementService`/`TeamBillingService`) + tests
- [x] Self-hosted backend (`app/proprietary`): orchestrator + instance
gate (dark + **fail-open**) + tests
- [x] Portal: in-app Supabase login modal + register hand-off +
`LinkContext` (unlinked default) + "Linked instances" view — all
`@shared` Storybook components
- [x] **Portal billing surface** — free (Processor trial) + subscribed
(Processor plan) Usage views to marketing spec; link-state derived from
the **live wallet**; in-place cap editor; over-cap banner
- [x] **SaaS reads** — payment-method endpoint + invoice billed-units
(defensive `stripe.*` mirror DAOs) + tests
- [x] Orphan guard: block leaving/accepting away from a team whose
departure orphans its linked instances
- [ ] Metering Step 2 (lease + reconcile loop) + bounded fail-open
cutoff
- [ ] Proprietary hardening (SaaS base-url config, secret-at-rest, finer
billable classification) + HTTP integration test
- [ ] Cross-repo Stripe lifecycle certified end-to-end (subscribe →
meter → cancel → 402)
- [ ] Admin ⟺ SaaS-leader enforcement (separate portal-team-mgmt
workstream)

## Verification — all green

cache/interceptor) |
| portal | tsc 0 · eslint 0 · **vitest 55** · storybook build (all
billing stories) |
| frontend post-sync | typecheck shared + portal + editor (saas +

## Review feedback applied
Reworked the portal after first-pass feedback: linking signs in via the
**shared Supabase login** (SSO + email/password) — no bespoke form; the
**device secret is never shown in or sent to the FE** (the local backend
registers + stores it server-side); billing copy reads **PDFs**, not
"units"; the wallet surface uses **`@shared` components** matching the
SaaS Plan page. Re-verified including an assertion the link response
carries no `deviceSecret`/`deviceId`.

**Synced onto unified auth + in-app login (2026-06-23).** Merged `main`
incl. **#6725 unified auth** (`frontend/shared/auth`); the link flow
uses a shared `useSupabaseLogin` hook + `SupabaseLoginForm`, a portal
`LinkAccountModal`, and `useAccountLink.completeLink(session)` (+
on-mount SSO redirect-return). Config: `VITE_SAAS_SUPABASE_URL` +
`VITE_SAAS_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY`. The local `/account-link/link` call
carries the Spring admin bearer with the SaaS JWT in the body. **SSO**
needs the SaaS Supabase project to allow-list the portal redirect URL
(email/password works without it).

## Assumptions / open
- **Proprietary remains a scaffold** (placeholder SaaS base-url,
plaintext device secret at rest, coarse billable classification).
- Payment-method + invoice-quantity render only when
`stripe.payment_methods` / `stripe.invoice_line_items` are in the
Sync-Engine target (confirm in the Supabase/Sync-Engine config);
otherwise they degrade gracefully.
- A self-contained local HTML report + manual E2E runbook live in
`notes/account-link-report/` (dev artifacts, outside the repo).

Frontend

All frontend commands are run from the repository root using Task:

  • task frontend:dev — start Vite dev server (localhost:5173)
  • task frontend:build — production build
  • task frontend:test — run tests
  • task frontend:test:watch — run tests in watch mode
  • task frontend:lint — run ESLint + cycle detection
  • task frontend:typecheck — run TypeScript type checking
  • task frontend:check — run typecheck + lint + test
  • task frontend:install — install npm dependencies

For desktop app development, see the Tauri section below.

Layout

frontend/ is a workspace containing one or more apps. Today it holds the PDF editor under frontend/editor/; new apps (the developer portal, etc.) will sit alongside it as siblings. Shared tooling — package.json, node_modules, .storybook/, ESLint, Prettier — lives at frontend/ so every app installs once and lints with the same config.

Environment Variables

The editor's environment variables live in committed .env files at frontend/editor/:

  • .env — used by all builds (core, proprietary, and as the base for desktop/SaaS)
  • .env.desktop — additional vars loaded in desktop (Tauri) mode
  • .env.saas — additional vars loaded in SaaS mode

These files contain non-secret defaults and are checked into Git, so most dev work needs no further setup.

To override values locally (API keys, machine-specific settings), create an uncommitted sibling editor/.env.local / editor/.env.desktop.local / editor/.env.saas.local. Vite automatically layers these on top of the committed files.

Docker Setup

For Docker deployments and configuration, see the Docker README.

Tauri

All desktop tasks are available via Task. From the root of the repo:

Dev

task desktop:dev

This ensures the JLink runtime and backend JAR exist (skipping if already built), then starts Tauri in dev mode.

Build

task desktop:build

This does a full clean rebuild of the backend JAR and JLink runtime, then builds the Tauri app for production.

Platform-specific dev builds are also available:

task desktop:build:dev           # No bundling
task desktop:build:dev:mac       # macOS .app bundle
task desktop:build:dev:windows   # Windows NSIS installer
task desktop:build:dev:linux     # Linux AppImage

You can also run JLink steps individually:

task desktop:jlink          # Build JAR + create JLink runtime
task desktop:jlink:jar      # Build backend JAR only
task desktop:jlink:runtime  # Create JLink custom JRE only
task desktop:jlink:clean    # Remove JLink artifacts

Clean

task desktop:clean

Removes all desktop build artifacts including JLink runtime, bundled JARs, Cargo build, and dist/build directories.
